Reply #95: I agree, this isn't a debate, they're both trying to get as many soundbites in

in the short time allotted. In that way it was successful. Instead of attacking each other, which is a turnoff to anyone watching, there should be a reasonable debate. This is just a bunch of grandstanding by both parties. It's like a sports match where you're cheering for your side and nothing more. Totally unproductive.

Overall, all this bickering is totally missing the core problems that need to be addressed. Fraud and overspending by the government programs already in place and more insulation from pure profit motive of the private insurance industry.
